On Tuesday, after a slow start to the day, we drove up Route 89 along the west side of Cayuga Lake. Many of the leaves were already fallen, but the ones still on the trees were brightly colored. We took a short break to walk Ranger at Cayuga Lake State Park, which had nice RV camp sites which were, unfortunately, right along the highway. (Great location for exploring the area, but not a place to stay.) Continuing to travel northward, we had lunch at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge where Dan got out the spotting scope and we saw thousands of waterfowl. Most were Canada geese, but we also saw yellowlegs, northern shovelers, piedbilled grebes, and great black-backed gulls. Proceeding on, we drove through Seneca Falls and Geneva, then turned south on Route 14, along the west side of Seneca Lake. A stop at Prejean Winery for a tasting resulted in the purchase of some great dry Riesling and a really delicious dessert wine. Completing the loop, we arrived back at Robert Treman around 5:00, with plenty of time to grill dinner and enjoy a campfire again. It was, by then, overcast and quite cold, so the fire felt especially good.
